Own a 2010 5.4L Ford Raptor? AIRAID Can Add The Torque and Horsepower You’ve Always Wanted

A repacement low restriction intake tube delivers air from the filter to the engine

The SYNTHAMAX dry, non-woven synthetic filter media provides outstanding air flow and filtration

When the original Ford Raptor broke cover in 2009 as a 2010 model, it was universally hailed as the most radical factory-built off-road pickup ever offered to the public. Based on a 4WD F-150 Super Cab, it was lauded for its 11.2 and 12.1 inches of front and rear suspension travel dampened by honest-to-goodness Fox Racing Shox internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs.

Body-wise, from the A-pillar forward and behind the cab, the Raptor is different from other F-150 models with a composite hood and fenders. Its 5.5-foot box is unique to the Raptor as well. Newly-developed leaf springs, wider front upper- and lower-A-arms to increase front track, and a wider, thick-walled rear axle were also developed for the Raptor. Also added was a driver-selected Off Road Mode button which alters ABS, Traction Control, and other functions to a more aggressive setting for driving in low-grip, off road situations.

In fact, almost every component in the suspension and driveline was addressed to deliver robust off-road performance. There was only one thing that let it down: the base engine.

For the Raptor’s introduction, the base engine was the 5.4L V8 which produced a none-to-impressive 310 horsepower. A 411 horsepower 6.2L engine was optional and in 2011 the 6.2L became the sole engine available in the Raptor, with the 5.4L being discontinued.

So if you’re an early adopter and bought yourself a 2010 5.4L V8-powered Raptor and now find yourself at a horsepower deficit to newer models, we have a solution that doesn’t require you to tear your truck apart. It’s the AIRAID 402-257 cold air dam (CAD) intake that’s engineered to give your 5.4L larger amounts of cooler air to produce more horsepower and torque, an upgrade so simple it can be installed on a Saturday morning with nothing but a few common hand tools.

The Cold Air Dam blocks engine heat from entering the intake track, reducing available power

The original location of the air filter is retained, but the massive filter is sheltered by the CAD

Another critical factor is the AIRAID premium air filter that’s housed inside the CAD providing outstanding air flow and filtration through its SYNTHAMAX dry, non-woven synthetic filter media and replacement low-restriction intake tube. It’s recommended that you clean your AIRAID SYNTHAMAX filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving (or more often when driving off-road or in heavy dust conditions) with AIRAID 790-558 premium dry filter cleaning solution.

And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim: the 402-257 CAD air intake system is street legal in all US states.

Plus you get the piece-of-mind that the 402-257 CAD air intake system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is about as simple as it gets. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just give us a call at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. And you don’t have to worry about holding onto a warranty card -- AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

All AIRAID premium filters are produced in-house using only the finest materials available with highly specialized manufacturing equipment to ensure a level of quality control no other filter company can match. This is just one of many reasons why all of AIRAID's filters are backed by our "No Hassle" Lifetime Warranty. All of AIRAID's product lines are proudly manufactured in the USA.

The AIRAID 402-257 is designed to fit the following models of Ford Raptor:

Custom vehicles require custom air intake solutions and AIRAID’s U-Build-It (UBI) product line makes it easy to build a cold air intake system for your custom vehicle whether it’s a street rod, a classic muscle car with a late-model engine, or any other non-stock application. AIRAID’s versatile UBI line offers several components that make fabricating a custom air intake easier than ever before.

AIRAID’s air filter assemblies combine a premium AIRAID air filter with an air filter adapter and a cold air dam panel, providing a clean and easy way to mount the filter on a fenderwell, core support, or any other convenient location. Available in 3” (100-201), 3.5” (100-202, 100-211), and 4” (100-203) filter inlet diameters, these assemblies are an effective way to secure the air filter in the engine compartment while providing maximum airflow to the engine. The panels, air filter adapters, and air filters are also available individually. For tight applications, there are also cold air dam panels with a permanent air filter adapter already in place to accept smaller diameter air filters.

Many fuel injection systems need a MAF sensor positioned somewhere in the air intake tract and the UBI product line has options for accommodating them. AIRAID offers an air filter adapter with a built-in MAF sensor mount (160-643) and a machined aluminum MAF sensor tube insert (9701). Both accept common Hitachi MAF sensors and provide a clean, easy way to incorporate a MAF into a custom air intake. Last but certainly not least, there’s an adjustable bracket available (9505) that can be used to support the tube of a custom air intake regardless of the configuration.

AIRAID’s extensive line of UBI components make fabricating an air intake for custom applications a breeze. With the AIRAID UBI system, the only limitation is your imagination!

AIRAID Quick & Easy Performance Modifications for Chevy and GMC Trucks

200-985 AIRAID Jr. Kit

200-985 AIRAID Jr. Kit

Looking for quick and easy performance modifications for a Chevy or GMC Truck? AIRAID has designed Airaid Jr. Kits and modular air intake tubes for select 2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet and GMC models. Both products target the more restrictive portions of the factory air intake systems, the paper air filter and the factory air intake tube.

200-785 AIRAID Jr. Kit Installed

200-785 AIRAID Jr. Kit Installed

AIRAID modular air intake tubes (MIT) optimize airflow to the engine by replacing the factory air intake tube. Factory tubes often have accordion shaped walls, sound-cancelling baffles, and undersized tube diameters, all of which hurt airflow. Constructed of cross-linked high-density polyethylene for strength and resistance to heat transfer, AIRAID MIT kits help straighten and improve airflow to the engine while optimizing the location of the mass air sensor. MIT tubes are direct replacements for factory air intake tubes and accommodate all of the factory sensors and fittings that attach to the factory tube. This design provides better throttle response and additional horsepower.

200-985 AIRAID Modular Air Intake Tube

200-985 AIRAID Modular Air Intake Tube

Combine the MIT Tube with a quality drop-in replacement air filter and you have an AIRAID Jr. System. AIRAID drop-in replacement air filters are as easy to install as a paper replacement air filter and they are washable and reusable. Constructed of reinforced polyurethane casings that are guaranteed not to crack or warp while maintaining a positive seal within the factory air box, the air filters are available with traditional oiled media or SynthaMax dry media. Both media types offer excellent filtration without impeding airflow, which allows the engine to breathe easier and run more efficiently.

The AIRAID 200-985 modular air intake tube is designed for the following models:

400-101 Air Intake for Ford F-150 3.5L

400-101 Air Intake for Ford F-150 3.5L

AIRAID offers a wide assortment of performance air intake solutions for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Ford F-150 pickup trucks powered by the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. The modular air intake tube (MIT), part 400-901 is just one of the power solutions AIRAID has designed to get more out of your Ford F-150 Ecoboost. The AIRAID modular air intake tube features a bifurcated or forked design to feed the EcoBoost’s twin turbos with an unrestricted supply of clean air. As a stand-alone upgrade, the MIT tube connects to the factory air intake box and turbo inlets to optimize airflow and improve part-throttle response.

401-101 Air Intake for Ford F-150 3.5L Installed

401-101 Air Intake for Ford F-150 3.5L Installed

The AIRAID Jr. system combines the MIT tube with a premium AIRAID drop-in replacement air filter for the factory air intake box to further improve airflow. The drop-in air filter is available with either the SynthaFlow traditional oiled air filter media (400-701) or SynthaMax dry filter media (401-701), both of which are washable and reusable and further improve airflow to the engine.

400-701 Jr. Kit 2011-2014 for Ford F-150 3.5L

For those seeking even more performance, AIRAID offers a full cold air dam intake system that is available with or without the bifurcated air intake tube. The cold air dam panels replace the upper half of the factory air intake box, while blade-style weatherstripping seals against the hood to keep hot engine compartment air away from the open-element air filter. The air filter is massive and designed to maximize filter surface area and to supply the engine with a virtually unrestricted supply of cool outside air. Like the drop-in air filters, these open-element filters are available with traditional red oiled filter media (400-101) or SynthaMax dry media in red (401-101), blue (403-101), and black (402-101). When coupled with the air intake tube, the cold air dam system improves horsepower and torque.

Like the rest of AIRAID’s product line, these EcoBoost air intake systems are proudly made in the USA and all AIRAID air filters are backed by an exclusive “No Hassle” warranty.

The air intakes mentioned above are designed to improve the following models:

Upgrade with AIRAID's Universal Custom Air Intake Box Assembly

AIRAID 100-262 Universal Air Box

AIRAID 100-262 Universal Air Box

AIRAID's popular UBI (U Build It) air intake systems include a universal air box assembly that is fully compatible with other UBI components. The air box incorporates several mounting options and makes it easier than ever before to design and build a custom cold air intake system.

AIRAID 100-262 Universal Air Box with View of Filter

AIRAID 100-262 Universal Air Box with View of Filter

AIRAID has designed the 100-262 universal sealed air box to keep the vehicle's air filter isolated from hot engine compartment air. In off-road applications, its sealed air box design helps protect the air inlet from mud and water ingestion. The universal air box assembly incorporates a sealed aluminum lid which helps keep the air filter protected from mud and other contaminants in off-road applications while still offering easy access to the filter for maintenance. The 100-262 is constructed of roto-molded cross-linked polyethylene and it is roughly square-shaped, which enables it to be mounted in a variety of different ways to suit many different custom applications.

Designed to be used in conjunction with AIRAID’s other UBI system components, the 100-262 universal cold air box features a built-in velocity stack to promote airflow along with a premium SynthaFlow oiled air filter that is large enough to feed most popular engine combinations. The air box inlet size is 4” in diameter but can be adapted to work with UBI tubes from 3” to 5” in diameter.

Please note that the UBI universal air box is intended for use with other UBI components that are sold separately. The modular design of the AIRAID UBI product line enables the user to design their own system according to individual needs and it can accommodate thousands of different engine and chassis combinations. With all of the different potential UBI combinations, the only limitation is the user’s imagination!
